Dog Sledding the A, B, K Trails Loop ◈

This moderate loop offers good, undulating terrain through meadows and open Jeffrey pine forest, close to town but away from most snowmobile traffic. Stage at the Lookout Mountain trailhead on the east side of Hwy 395 across from the Mammoth Scenic Loop. Head south on the A Trail and cross under the highway through the OHV tunnel. From here to the junction with the B Trail you may come across snowmobilers headed out from Shady Rest. But once you turn onto the B Trail, you and the dogs should have the place to yourselves. Follow this west and north to the K Trail for the loop back to tunnel.

Avalanche Forecast for 11/27/2024

AVALANCHE FORECAST: Over the past five days, two storms brought periods of heavy snowfall, strong winds, and dangerous avalanche conditions to the region. As the weather settles, avalanches breaking in new and wind-drifted snow will become less likely. Be prepared to assess the recent snow for signs of instability, like cracking underfoot, before venturing into avalanche terrain. We have very limited information about the snowpack at mid and upper elevations. If old snow has formed weak layers near the base of the snowpack, you can expect avalanche conditions to settle more slowly. Find out More
